Barn And Horse-Engine House At Manor Farm Situated Immediately North Of Farmhouse

The barn and horse-engine house at Manor Farm, located immediately north of the farmhouse, is a structure that has been repurposed as a grain store and cowhouses with a hayloft. The core of the building is timber-framed and likely dates back to the early 17th century, while the horse-engine house was added in the 18th to early 19th century. The exterior features internal timber framing, rubble sandstone, and a stone slate roof, which has been replaced by Welsh slate on the north side of the barn.

The building is partly two storeys and consists of four internal bays, with the horse-engine house positioned on the farmyard side to the north. On the farmyard side, there are block-bonded brick quoins at the left end, and an apsidal horse-engine house to the right, where most original wall openings have been infilled, leaving some casements. There is a door into the cowhouse from the engine house, flanked by casements, and a horizontal-sliding door to the left. The opposite side features a wide entrance to the right of centre with a re-used oak lintel, and two casements to the left with a loading hatch above.

The left return has been rebuilt in 20th-century brickwork and includes two buttresses, while the right return has a lean-to addition and the gable wall of the barn is collapsing inwards, with slit vents present. Inside, there are wall posts supporting three principal rafter trusses, some braces on the tie beams, original wall plates, raking struts to the principals, and renewed purlins. There is no framing in the gable walls, and one wall post at the junction with the engine house has been removed, with two others shortened and underbuilt.
